The Death Of Bees Explained - Parasites, Poison and Humans

In 2015 the bees are still dying in masses. Which at first seems not very important until you realize that one third of all food humans consume would disappear with them. Millions could starve. The foes bees face are truly horrifying - some are a direct consequence of human greed. We need to help our small buzzing friends or we will face extremely unpleasant consequences.

Why are bees dying. Not mosquitos or cockroach

[@grfrjiglstan]

Bees come into contact with the flowers covered with pesticides, bring pollen back to the hive, and slowly poison the entire hive.

[@NeoFryBoy]

It's not all bees, just the bees used by farmers. they're basically crop dusting their own bee hives with poison and acting confused.

[@gratdalton868]

because mosquitoes feed and survive on the giant population we strive to maintain. And cockroaches are just fucking invincible.

[@trevorsharp460]

Interesting question! Here's my guess: Inherent fragility of bees -- in order for one bee to survive, you need hundreds of them, all working together. Honeybees can't survive without their colonies in the same way that a single cockroach or mosquito survives. For a mosquito to survive, you just need one mosquito. Additionally, their food sources are considerably different. A cockroach is perfectly happy to switch from rotting plant matter to garbage, for instance.

[@nikzanzev2402]

+TekaiGuy Amen. With every passing day, Marx's critique of capitalism is more and more accurate. Not that I would like to follow his prescriptions lawl. For now, I am ok with a heavily restricted and regulated capitalism. The age of exponential, never ending growth is over anyways. And without growth, there is no capitalism. At this point our focus should be on things like care. Care of our bodies, care of our fellow humans, and care of our environment.

If you want to preserve the beauty of nature maybe we shouldn't have made bees the primary way of transferring pollen or keep acting like there aren't alternative bugs who have gone extinct and are continuing to die off as we put bees to the front line. There was many species of pollen transporters before bees in America.

[@OnideusMadHatter]

This video is absolute garbage. We know EXACTLY why bees are dying out and, sorry, it's not really a big problem. In fact, there are NO native honey bees in the United States... at all. We imported them all from Europe and we use them as a commercial tool. They are NOT a part of the natural ecosystem (at least in the US). As far as the exact problems, the commercial bees are largely dying out because they keep stealing all the honey and replacing the majority of it with an artificial sugar mush mess which lacks certain natural goodies, the most important being p-coumaric acid which activates specific genes which boost the bee's natural immune system... and without it they become exponentially more susceptible to pesticides and disease. Wild bees on the flip side have OTHER problems, largely due to human expansion and roadways. Basically wiping out wildflowers and building new roads... bees go SQUISH on people's windshields.

[@warriorqueen7622]

[@cheriibeanuwu2129]

I've had a lot of trouble finding a career path in life that has a chance of being fulfilling to me, but recently i've started wanting to start a bee farm. This has fuelled that want; maybe I can contribute to the bees of the world. I love those funky little workers, it's tragic the world doesn't appreciate them enough to protect them.

[@snow-io8mk]

I pray for you and your goals! This is so nice to hear :)

[@TheRomanRuler]

Governments should immediately start fund every bee farmer and forbid bee killing pestisides. That is good first step.

[@ZealotOfSteal]

I'll quote myself from another comment. "No matter what farming practices you use, with 7 billion people the impact on the environment will be huge. The question is how to minimize that impact... and there is no simple answer. Mainly because the environment is a very complex system and solving one problem can cause several new ones. That's why decisions should not be taken lightly or based on anything other than objective facts and science."

[@stefanarneson4877]

How about we just kill all the humans? That way Nature could thrive happily without intelligent species fucking everything up. Y'know like we've been doing for past God-Knows how many years.

[@ZealotOfSteal]

Stefan Arneson Nature is gonna thrive one way or another, we're not going to 'destroy' the environment. The worst we could do is nuke the fuck out of everything and cause a mass extinction.Then a few hundred or thousand years later things will pick up again. Of course by then our species would probably be long gone. And that's where the problem is. If we want to survive as a species as long as possible, then we'll have to change something.

Hey! I think you all should do another video on bees, cause this one is not necessarily inaccurate, but does not address how important native bees are. Here in North America at least, native bees can out pollinate Apis mellifera on the order of 100x (in almonds). So, the notion that just honey bees contribute to 1/3 of food is disingenuous...native bees contribute heavily to soybean crops and many others. Love the work!

Now guess who needs plants. Not just for food but also for breathing? Plus, you can't calculate or imagine right now, what would happen to the rest of the ecosystem when such an enormous pillar is gonna collapse. So let's not just sit and wait for the results of that way. Unless, you'd like to doom the next few generations even more...

It's wing was chipped, and I crouched down, setting the flowers in front of the bee. *The bee, thank goodness, survived,* and climbed on the flowers. Slowly getting up, I put my hand near the bee to make sure it didn't fall. And I walked across the street slowly, and I rushed to the other side when I heard a car beep at me. when I got to the other side, the bee was buzzing, and I slowed down. When I got to a playground, I went to a nearby hill, slowly getting down to sit on the sidewalk. While I was doing all that, the bee was pollenating the flowers. Anyway, the bee flew of the flowers, landing on the ground to wipe the pollen off it's face. After that, *I watched it fly away, back to the safety of it's hive.* I will never forget that time, but I will always forget what age I was. -My brain decides what I should and should not remember- (Edit): In case you are wondering, this is a *true* story

The human must learn to take a cut on this madness of profit, capital and money (that are wasted in the end, think about the food we waste every day).

Actually honeybee colonies have increased while the real problem is with the wild bees. Wild bees are slowly dying out because of pesticides. Different types of wild bees are better at pollinating different kinds of flowers than the honey bees. So basically it takes way less wild bees than honeybees to pollinate a wide area of a specific plant. Some species have died forever, while others are on the verge of dying.

According to The American Council of science and health (and others) bee numbers have been steady or slightly increasing since the 1990’s. There’s a lot of easily accessible first order information out there that confirms there is no “beepolcaypse” nor has there ever been the likelihood of one.

Anybody notice a sudden surge in bee populations lately or just me? Ever since summer 2021 started I’ve been seeing them EVERYWHERE here in Southern California

[@dominikgoslawski627]

There is only one sollution to this problem Genetically modified bees

[@bllsr7013]

and probably that will be the solution by making bees more durable and long lasting. actually we can modify and improve every single animal in Noah's Ark. Take this god.

[@singaporeseaslugs1393]

Ebraheem Mubashir fuck the earth, earth will end eventually, might as well speed up the process!!!!!!!

[@PtolemyXVII]

That would not be a solution. Genetic modification has many unintended side effects, usually ending in death. The ONLY solution is to ban insecticides.

If we dont want to get extinct

[@dkblack3461]

I've always loved bees. Aside from their massive contribution to pollination, I've just always felt drawn to them. When I was eight I was running barefoot on our front lawn and accidentally stepped on a bee. It's stinger went into the bottom of my foot. I cried and cried and cried. My mother gently tried to calm me down by telling me it would feel better soon, but I told her I wasn't crying because it hurt, I was crying because the bee was going to die! :(

But only local honey from the keeper himself

[@MsTheHymn]

There's another factor here that is not mentioned. Bees are social creatures, they thrive in the care of attent beekeepers, they feel the beekeeper is part of the "family". With extensive beekeeping practices bees are abandoned to "polinize" crops or trees and only visited to harvest the honey they work hard for; they are not cared for to see if they get sick or are attacked by parasites or predators (which can be treated), thus entire hives will die or decide to abandon their home because they are "attacked" by human predators.

This school year I've learned something. I've learned what kind of people make up with world. I always thought that we as humans now have reasonable common sense. I feel so defeated. Today in class, the topic of bees came up. This is English class. The people in my class, didn't think we needed bees. I was shook. I couldn't believe it, I explained that they pollinate and make pretty much every food possible and we absolutely NEED them. They didn't believe me. What do they think? We are evolved from nature and oh so high we get our food from oh factories I don't need bees to eat my chips and fast food. I learned the full extent of the kind of people that make up this world, more so that day. This year has been amazing in my cp English class (I am a junior in high school) I wish I took ap now.....not saying cp kids aren't smart, I'm just so amazed how facts and the truth do very little to convince people in general. I'm afraid to think about myself included😞

It hurts deeply knowing that media and science has been warning us about this for literal years and so little has been done. This effects humanity on such a large scale yet it’s treated like a side project. We need more videos like this 🙌🏻

[@winniethepooh5164]

attduke you know the bees are doing fine... however honey bees need to go, cause they are an invasive species.

[@jordanmatthews1466]

I know this comment is four years too late but, honey bees aren't even 12% of all pollenating insects, let alone pollenators in general. Hell, they aren't even the largest pollenators among bees. I'd also like to remind that honeybees are an invasive species and, as such, don't belong in north America ANYWAY. Bees being gone would ACTUALLY pose a problem. Honeybees in specific being gone isn't a net loss, let alone American honey bees. It's ashame that people just believe what they hear instead of looking at the actual data. While I understand not everybody has that kind of time, I personally refuse to have any concerns about an issue unless I'm certain it really is an issue.

[@TheAngryIntellect-]

Yes because more KZbin video's will some how solve the problem... Question for you... What have you done with the knowledge you received about the bee's and nature in the last decade? Yeah that's what I thought. NOTHING. Because everyone is always waiting for someone else to solve problems, literally everyone thinks that way, and that's the problem. You knew about the issues for decades and did literally jack sh*t about it with your living habits, spending habits, spreading Knowledge, donations... You did absolutely nothing. So welcome to the tribe. I also did nothing. Just like everyone else.

[@stevestinggaming5239]

It's not just honey bees it's all pollenators

Mites are really nasty. I had an infestation in my belly. It doesn’t die; they just lay more and more eggs and it spreads and spreads. I finally got Premethrin to treat it, but a year later, I still face nerve damage / itching.
